did we ever get a flood of information?

[Shougun]

Now that that's out of the way, I will agree, reading the pirate talk was REALLY annoying. Without voice acting though, there's no way SE could better convey how they imagined those NPCs would speak. It's easy to say you could leave it to the reader's imagination, but they wanted you to know how THEY wanted it to sound.

They did such a good job I dont read it lol.

And the flood did not happen unless they consider recaps new information.
